New Leaf Biofuel receives BQ-9000 certification

April 10, 2016 |

In California, New Leaf Biofuel has received the BQ-9000 producer certification administered by the National Biodiesel Accreditation Program. Based out of San Diego, New Leaf utilizes recycled cooking oil collected from area restaurants to produce its fuel. The company also celebrated its ten year anniversary this week.

BQ-9000 is a voluntary fuel quality program designed to ensure biodiesel is produced and maintained at or above the industry standard. The program is a unique combination of the ASTM standard for biodiesel, ASTM D6751, and a quality systems program that includes storage, sampling, testing, blending, shipping, distribution, and fuel management practices.

“We have always been focused on producing the very best fuel,” said New Leaf plant manager Lucas Altic. “The acceptance of New Leaf Biofuel into the BQ-9000 program validates all of our hard work and attention to quality fuel that our team gives every day. Fuel quality is important because it gives our customers confidence that the fuel is going to perform the way it is supposed to every time they turn the key.”
